Sustainable Living

Think Tank members often come across products that advertise ‘green credentials’. We don’t have the resources to check out claims made, but they do make us think about the products we buy. Have a look at these sites for more information about products as well as tips on how to live more sustainably.

Remember to check out the One Million Women’s Love Earth Marketplace.

There are a host of accreditation schemes where companies can be independently assessed for their emission reduction/social responsibility claims. We will provide an overview of these schemes in the coming months.

What’s your view?

Should we be considering advocating for carbon emission labelling on products?
